The Jaguars won the coin toss and elected to defer. On the Chargers’ first offensive play, Travon Walker immediately pressured Justin Herbert on a bootleg rollout to force an intentional grounding penalty. Herbert threw two screens before L.A. was forced to punt.

Jacksonville picked up three first downs thanks to Austin Trammel, Jakobi Meyers, and Travis Etienne, but the drive stalled out when Trevor Lawrence sailed a 4th-and-3 pass to Meyers.

L.A. was in good field position with the Jaguars turning the ball over on the Chargers’ 41-yard line. Herbert completed a 13-yard throw to Oronde Gadsden and scrambled twice for small gains. His 3rd-and-3 pass to Gadsden was well-defended by Montaric Brown, and the Bolts settled for a 41-yard field goal.

Jacksonville marched 74 yards downfield in six plays, largely thanks to a bailout of a 31-yard DPI. That penalty put the Jaguars 15 yards from the endzone. Bhayshul Tuten took care of the rest by rushing for a first down, then a touchdown. The good guys are on the board!

A split sack by Walker and Danny Striggow, followed by a huge TFL by Devin Lloyd, led to a three-and-out from the Chargers on their next drive.

Jacksonville promptly lost all its momentum thanks to an interception by Lawrence. It was about as ugly as usual.

The Chargers had good field position again and found themselves at 3rd-and-10 in the redzone. Herbert bought some time, but Josh Hines-Allen eventually swooped in to record his 56th career sack — the franchise’s all-time record! Congrats, 41!

The sack ended the Chargers’ touchdown hopes, but they still connected on a 46-yard field goal.

Lawrence had another brutal pass on Jacksonville’s next drive — he underthrew Quintin Morris on a well-designed leak route that should’ve been a touchdown. The good news is that, behind an uber-efficient rushing attack, the Jaguars marched downfield and scored anyway! Etienne punched in a 2-yard touchdown on a wildcat carry.

Los Angeles used up pretty much all of the remaining three and a half minutes in the first half. UDFA rookie B.J. Green II had a hard-hitting sack that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty, but the Jaguars were still able to force a punt.

Jacksonville opened the second half with a nice 11-play, 65-yard scoring drive. It was propelled by an 11-yard throw to Parker Washington, a 21-yarder to Meyers, and a 10-yarder to Tim Patrick, and Lawrence finished it with his legs. What could go wrong over the next 20 minutes of game time?

For a second time, Travon Walker helped force a three-and-out by getting a hit on Herbert.

Jacksonville’s second drive of the second half bled into the final quarter, as the offense put together a 16-play, 76-yard drive that took over nine minutes off the clock (!) and resulted in a Tim Patrick touchdown. Liam Coen is in his bag, folks.

Herbert’s next pass attempt was INTERCEPTED by Antonio Johnson! He returned it 44 yards to the Chargers’ 13-yard line!

Then Etienne scored a play later to give Jacksonville a 29-point lead!

With 11 minutes remaining, Jim Harbaugh raised the white flag by replacing Herbert with Trey Lance. Both teams weirdly exchanged 4-and-outs for consecutive turnovers on downs.

Lance evaded a sack against Dawuane Smoot and found Gadsden down the sideline for 28 yards, but their drive eventually ended with a 4th down sack by Arik Armstead. He has 5.5 sacks this season, his most since 2021.

Coen put Nick Mullens and the rest of Jacksonville’s backups in to ice the game. Thank goodness we didn’t get a repeat of last week!
